Chapter 601 Chapter 24 The Murder Weapon

(I also want to be arbitrary!)

-------------------------------------

The next morning, Bai Ye Texas and Yaye Lily of the Valley met outside the hotel.

Bai Ye and Texas rested well, and Lily of the Valley was also in good spirits.

Only Yaye looked like he didn't sleep well, which was a surprising thing.

You know, Yaye is one of the few quite self-disciplined operators in Rhodes Island.

After all, not all operators can do what Yaye does. During non-combat time, they insist on getting up at six o'clock and going to bed at nine o'clock every day, wake up and run around the deck for an hour, then take a shower, have breakfast and start working.

Not only that, Yaye does not smoke or drink, does not sing or dance, and only socializes as necessary. The rest of her time is spent in research laboratories, clinics or libraries to improve herself, and only one day is spent on weekends to satisfy her interest in hunting.

For most of the operators, such a strict life schedule is really... out of reach.

"Sister Yaye, are you okay? If you are tired, you can rest..."

Although she and Yaye slept in the same room, Lily of the Valley slept soundly. When she woke up in the morning, she was taken aback by Yaye's appearance.

"Well... I'm fine. Let's hurry up. Only when all this is settled, can I have a good rest." Yaye clenched her fists. She has experienced many things, and it is not the first time that she has lost her relatives and friends. However, this does not mean that she can face all this calmly.

"Buzz-"

At this moment, Bai Ye's terminal vibrated several times regularly.

Bai Ye took out the terminal to check and smiled and said:

"Get in touch with Gray Throat and the others, we will meet up in the square later."

"Then where are we now?" Ling Lan raised her head and asked.

"Well, let's go to the meeting hall now, anyway, it's right in front of the square—for some details, we need to ask the officer." Bai Ye said.

"Everyone, please take the freshly baked burritos for breakfast... I am also sorry for the death of Dr. An Tuo."

At this moment, the owner of the hotel came out from the door and handed a paper bag of burritos to Bai Ye.

"Thank you."

Bai Ye took the burrito and thanked her with a smile.

"Actually, this small town isn't too bad, let alone bad, is it..." Bai Ye said after walking out for a long time.

"Yeah..." Yaye pursed her lips and nodded, "Perhaps, because of Anto, I have a prejudice against Wollenmud... But, this burrito is delicious..."

"Someone did commit murder, it's not a lie - but it doesn't prevent there are good people here." Bai Ye said, picked up the burrito, and took a bite.

very delicious.

-------------------------------------

"Good morning, Rhode Island doctors."

Just approaching the meeting hall in the central square, a young woman was already waiting there. When she saw Bai Ye and the others, she greeted them politely.

"Are you...?" Bai Ye asked with some doubts.

"You can just call me Tatiana...I'm the assistant to Commander Severin," Tatiana explained.

Bai Ye noticed that the horn on Tatiana's head was not like Elafia, but rather similar to Caprini.

Under the leadership of Tatiana, Bai Ye and others walked into the meeting hall.

"Please wait a moment, the officer is taking medicine - he is not very well."

"Really, this gentleman shouldn't continue smoking... He almost smoked a whole pack of cigarettes yesterday! He doesn't cherish his body too much..." Ling Lan couldn't help but said.

Tatiana shook her head helplessly:

"If only he'd listen to us."

"By the way, Miss Tatiana, do you know anything about the fire outside?" Bai Ye suddenly looked up at Tatiana.

"Of course." Tatiana nodded, "I was at the scene after the incident, and I accompanied the officer to investigate the whole incident."

Bai Ye and Yaye looked at each other, and Yaye followed Bai Ye's words and asked:

"Then...can you tell me about the identity of the corpse? In addition to Dr. Anto and Mr. Thor, we also saw six corpses."

Tatiana was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Well...there are three infected people in the town, Kevin, Biederman, and Eckhard. They are receiving treatment here. Then there are Dr. Anto and... Thorwald as you know."

"Besides, there are three other infected people from outside."

"Are they related to those armed infected people outside?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows.

"I don't know, but it is very likely that there is a connection." Tatiana was a little uncertain.

Bai Ye frowned, although theoretically, what the girl in front of him said was almost correct.But Bai Ye always felt that something was wrong.

For some reason, he felt that the woman in front of him was lying.It's a hunch, but he's having a hard time coming up with evidence.

It just so happened that at this moment, Severin, who had met yesterday, was walking towards them, and Bai Ye had no choice but to put this doubt in his heart.

"How was everyone's rest last night? And, I have something to show you."

As expected of Master Chief, Severin is much more vigorous than a mere civil servant.

He placed a shattered dark purple Originium artifact on the table.

"This is... some kind of operation unit?"

Bai Ye naturally recognized that this was an origin stone generating device or the core spell-casting unit of a magic staff.

It can be understood as the gemstone inlaid on the top of the staff, or the core of the source stone generating device.Through the spell-casting unit as a medium, non-infected warlocks can perform Originium skills.

"Hmm." Severin nodded, and then explained, "This is what we saw at the scene: the self-discipline spell-casting unit of the city defense spell generator L-44 "Gramophone". Simply put, this is the murder weapon. "

"The murder weapon..." Yaye's hand gradually tightened.

"This level of destructive power is of course illegal among civilians, but on the other hand, as long as they are highly educated Leitanians, they can drive this core. Overload, heating, explosion, after all, it is the city defense equipment. Partly, the origin stone technology project is very complicated, not everyone can use it."

Severin sighed softly.

"It seems that the conclusion is already obvious, this is indeed murder..."

With the physical evidence provided by Severin, Bai Ye and the others are completely convinced that the tragedy that happened to Operator Anto was not an accident.

"...It's this thing, someone used this thing to give Anto to..." Yaye's breathing gradually became heavy.

Chapter 602 Chapter 25 The Beginning of Chaos (9/9)

(Recently in the cloud clearance ghost walker and yuppie spirit, one super cool, one very interesting.)

-------------------------------------

Now Yaye is like an angry kitten.

After a while, the girl regained her composure, and said in a deep voice:

"We're going to find the murderer."

"Oh? And after that?" Severin pressed.

"After that...I want him to pay the price." Yaye's voice was a little cold.

Severin pushed the phonograph unit on the table:

"...What a surprise. So after the uneasiness and sorrow passed, you chose revenge."

"Sister Yaye...we shouldn't..." Ling Lan murmured.

Bai Ye suddenly said:

"I don't think there is anything wrong. If you are indifferent to the death of your companion... Little Lisa, being kind is a noble quality. However, some things are understandable, but cannot be forgiven."

"I heard Doctor Kelsey ask an operator like this before:

'With anger entrenched in our bodies, do we allow it to flow out and condense into hatred?

Or can we make it a more noble ruler to measure all our future actions and illuminate our reason?Do you want to tell right from wrong, or do you want to understand why everything happens? '"

After a pause, Bai Ye continued:

"Although I can understand her thoughts, I also admire her for being able to say such words-however, some people must pay the price for their actions."

"Bai Ye, stop talking..." Yaye took a deep breath, "I know.

Of course I know, as an operator of Rhodes Island and an apprentice of Doctor Kelsey, I should know better than anyone else. "

"But only that person - that person must be judged! What did Anto do? She was helping the infected, she was helping them! Why did Anto suffer all this!?"

"At least—at least...at least I want to ask him...why did he do this...why do he do this."

In the end, Yaye's voice was almost trembling.

"Yaye..." Bai Ye could feel Yaye's ambivalence.

For him and Texas, revenge is a matter of course.Revenge for vengeance, retribution for grievances, blood for blood—that’s what Bai Ye said to Texas before.Of course, revenge is not the whole of life.

Bai Ye didn't want Texas to be left empty and lost because of the end of revenge.

"I understand..." Severin nodded, "Actually, I didn't intend to stop you either—but, I hope you can recognize who is the real enemy. Please don't blame Warrum De—the current Warren Mude can't bear the light pressure of even a single snowflake."
